@BluebellfloraIt just opens origin : (

also every now and then it’ll actually start downloading packs that where already updated/downloaded

Can you create a new user account on your Mac and see if you can play in that account? It sounds like permissions may be an issue in your current account. Quick and simple test it to create the new account. Make sure you allow all access for the game and Origin in the new account when prompted.

I made another account and the same thing happens. Im pretty sure I gave origin and the game full access as well. Could it be my laptop causing this issue ?

Might be a problem with your laptop yes. Can you go into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access and provide a screenshot of the settings you have for Origin and The Sims 4. Please also do the same for Preferences > Security & Privacy > Files & Folders.
